scary pic. Looks like you need a new turbine housing.

 

It drives soooo much better now. I actually have trottle response. We had to weld a bead on the actuator arm inside of the turbo after the bushing because it was lose and by the picture you can see, not seating correctly.

 

^^^ what were the symptoms u had b4 u took the turbo out ??

was it the same symptoms as the ones i have listed ??

 

?????

 

I know your frustrated, but just because he had that problem doesnt neccessarily mean you have the same problem. Go out to your car and inspect/do a boost leak test and let us know what you find so we can help you.

 

i see ... im just thinking if i had a boost leak wud i be still hitting full boost ?

bc the vac meter is the same as it always was

the only issue is the late spoolup

tomorrow im gettin it checked out

 

You still would be hitting full boost if the leak was small. I know the fuel pressure regulator hose tends to pop off maybe you can do a visual check first.

what turbo/hotside are you running and what mileage is on it?

 

I was hitting full boost (21psi) @ 4800rpms in 5th. I checked boost leaks, my hallman mbc, my bov, I adjusted my actuator arm, and finally pulled the o2 housing n saw my problem. N WALLLAAHHHHB! SPOOLS @ 3800

 

so did u replace the wastegate ?? bc i have a brand new bov and hallman controller

im pretty sure my wga is ****ed wasnted to see how u fixed that problem

 

I welded on a small bead to keep the arm from backing out again.

Does that make sense? I guess I couldve taken a pic of it.

 

i was just curious if replacing the wga wud be the same thing
